MRI during brain metastasis surgery

This trial tests giving targeted radiation while surgeons are operating to treat brain metastases. It may help control the cancer locally at the time of surgery, especially for certain single lesions.

This study looks at MRI scan patterns to estimate the risk of brain metastases coming back after stereotactic radiosurgery (such as Gamma Knife or CyberKnife). It mainly helps by finding imaging clues that can guide follow-up after treatment.

This study tests a new MRI (brain scan) method to see how brain tumors change over time after treatment. There are also parts for healthy adults to help with developing and comparing the scan technique.

This study tests a special MRI technique to better distinguish between tumor regrowth and radiation-related changes in people with brain tumors. If you've had radiation for a brain tumor and now have suspicious changes, this scan might help guide your next steps.

This study uses brain “mapping” tests (with MRI and possibly other methods) to identify important brain functions near a tumor. It may help your care team plan a safer surgery by understanding which brain areas do critical tasks.

This study looks at MRI scans to find “molecular markers” that may reflect how active a brain tumor is. If you’re having surgery for a primary brain tumor, these scan results may help researchers better understand tumor behavior.
